Characterization of a novel metal-dependent D-psicose 3-epimerase from Clostridium scindens 35704. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The noncharacterized protein CLOSCI_02528 from Clostridium scindens ATCC 35704 was characterized as D-psicose 3-epimerase. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 7.5 and 60°C.

Effects of monosaccharides including rare sugars on proliferation of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites in vitro [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan with roles in pathogenicity of intestinal amoebiasis. E. histolytica trophozoites lack functional mitochondria and their energy production depends mostly on glycolysis.

Expression of d-psicose-3-epimerase from Clostridium bolteae and Dorea sp. and whole-cell production of d-psicose in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Annals of Microbiology, 2020 d-psicose-3-epimerase (DPEase) catalyses the isomerisation of d-fructose to d-psicose, a rare sugar in nature with unique nutritional and biological functions. An effective industrial-scale method is needed for d-psicose production.

Effect of Monosaccharides Including Rare Sugars on the Bilayer Phase Behavior of Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine [PDF]
MembranesWe observed bilayer phase transitions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in aqueous solutions of four kinds of monosaccharides, namely, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-allose and D-psicose, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
